BENGALURU: A 27-year-old software engineer has accused her colleague of sending abusive and lewd messages to her and trying to force her to have a physical relationship with him. Begur police have booked Anand Immanuel, a senior engineer with a private software firm at Devarachikkanahalli in southeast Bengaluru, under section 354A (sexual harassment) of Indian Penal Code. Immanuel and the woman were friends since September 2018. Immanuel would visit her house often. Both worked together on a project and that’s when he started misbehaving with the woman, cops said. “Immanuel used to send her porn clips and lewd messages to her mobile phone which she took exception to. But Immanuel continued to do so. Gradually, he began forcing her to have physical relationship with him and threatened to defame her character if she did not oblige,” police said. Police are looking for Immanuel who has gone incommunicado.
